    摘要: The present invention provides a method of detecting internal combustion engine misfiring. The method includes mixed rate sampling of crankshaft angular velocity for a plurality of cylinder firing events to generate a crankshaft angular velocity signal and a cylinder firing synchronization signal. The apparatus for executing the method comprises a crankshaft in operative relation with the internal combustion engine. A crankshaft sensor wheel is rotatably triggered by the crankshaft and includes a plurality of predetermined sensor indicators disposed at least at two different angular widths. A sensor is positioned adjacent to the wheel for sensing the passage of each indicator in producing a signal pulse having a duration corresponding to the angular width of the sensed indicator in response thereto. A counter determines the time intervals between signal pulses generated by the sensor including a synchronization signal time interval and an RPM signal time interval. The synchronization signal time interval is then utilized to calculate a plurality of crankshaft angular velocities for a plurality of RPM indicators replaced by a synchronization indicator. A misfire detector then determines if a misfire has occurred by interpreting a series of data points developed from the plurality of crankshaft angular velocities.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and system for systematically calibrating an engine misfire detection system for an internal combustion engine. The present invention provides a method of collecting a plurality of groups of sample data points. Each of the groups of sample data points represents a cylinder firing event. Optionally, misfire events can be induced during the collection of the groups of sample data points. Using the collected data points, a plurality of compensation parameters is then generated and applied iteratively to the sample data points to generally optimize the detection of misfire occurrences. Compensation parameters that produce a high accuracy misfire detection are selected and can be exported from the calibration system to transport to an engine controller in an internal combustion engine. Compensation of edge-to-edge error in engine speed data, engine noise, misfire signal magnitude, and filtering zone boundary coefficients enhance signal quality and further enhance misfire detection.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and system for detecting engine misfire with an optimal compensation of the RPM signal in an internal combustion engine in which the data signal containing a plurality of groups of sample data points is generated. Each of the groups of sample data points represents a cylinder firing event. The data signal is then conditioned for misfire detection processing. The data engine cycle compensation vectors for the RPM zone is then multiplied to the sample data of the RPM. Each group of sample data points is processed using signal processing techniques and then mapped into a single mapped data point. The mapped data points are further processed and then compared to a misfire detection dynamic threshold. A misfire detection signal is then output if any of the mapped data points fall outside the dynamic threshold. The misfire detection system achieves high degree of accuracy through a signal processing and statistical detection technology. The on-line RPM signal compensation reduces the effects to misfire detection caused by the RPM error from various sources and it further enhances the detection performance.

    摘要: A technique for determining the charge air temperature within an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle without using a dedicated temperature sensor. The technique includes identifying a non-linear dynamic model based on the physical concepts of thermal transfer and system identification technique. The charge air temperature model uses several available physical measurements from the vehicle, including inlet air temperature, engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, manifold pressure, engine speed, exhaust gas recirculation condition, and the engine fan on/off state. The model parameters are determined based on specific vehicle characteristics, and collected data from the vehicle. The charge air temperature is predicted by the model at regular predetermined intervals from the physical measurements, the vehicle parameters and the charge air temperature from the previous time. An estimation of an initial charge air temperature when the vehicle is turned on can be obtained based on the available temperature sensor readings when vehicle is turned on and stored data of the charge temperature, and all the measured temperature readings just before the engine was turned off.

    摘要: An electrical system for an automotive vehicle has a plurality of electrical generating machines having field windings energized by pulse width modulated drive signals generated by an external electronic voltage regulator. The pulse width modulated drive signals have a duty cycle determined by the electronic voltage regulator. A controller selects one of electrical generating machines to evaluate for failure and evaluates that electrical generating machine for failure by causing the PWM drive signal for the field windings of that electrical generating machine to be disabled. The controller then determines that this electrical generating machine has failed if the duty cycle for the PWM drive signals has then not been increased by the electronic voltage regulator by a pre-determined amount. The electrical generating machines are either generators or alternators. In an aspect, the PWM drive signals for the plurality of electrical generating machines are out of phase with each other.
